FIVE development applications on behalf of the National Broadband Network Company (NBN Co Limited) were approved at last week's Council meeting in Bowen, however not everyone is happy with the proposed locations for the network's telecommunications towers.

Alan Irving is just one local resident who has raised an objection to the development application for a site at Sugarloaf.

"The objection period closed last week and as far as I am aware, 35 objections representing almost 100 per cent of Sugarloaf residents in the tower's footprint were received," Mr Irving said.

"We at Sugarloaf are particularly concerned because this type of development is completely at odds with the lifestyle we have chosen and why we chose to move to Sugarloaf in the first place," he said.

Councillors voted unanimously last week to approve NBN sites at Mt Julian, Cannonvale, Bowen and Proserpine. Cr Whitney confirmed the Sugarloaf site had not yet come before Council.

"Until the objection period closes and our officers prepare a report we don't become involved," Cr Whitney said.

"[But] I think that Council's got to look at this, taking into consideration all the aspects of it and certainly we will consider the objections," she said.

Whitsunday Regional Council chief executive officer Scott Waters said he was aware of community concern.

"There's only been a couple [of letters] that have made it up to my desk but we do know there are some objections," he said.

Mr Waters said each application would be assessed on its own merits. He said any objections would be considered and addressed by Council's director of planning, before being referred back to NBN Co Ltd. He also said there were no issues raised with any of the most recently approved sites.
